I am new to the board and was wondering if any of the experts out there can remember the name of a lottery system from back in the 90's. I am from buffalo ny and use to see it on the infomercials late at night. I believe it had a french name. The way it worked was for a pick 6 lottery you could actually choose like 12 numbers and then it would put those numbers into different combinations so if a few came in you would have a winning ticket or maybe more than one. You would have to play a specified number of tickets depending on how many numbers you choose. I owned it way back then but throughout moving it has been lost or thrown away. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I dont know the name of this particular system, however the concept you described sounds exactly like 'wheeling'. If you google 'wheeling' you'll probably find quite a bit of info on the web, as well as here on LP. There is also a section under 'systems' that has wheels for pick 5 and pick 6 games.

Was doing a little research on the net today....could it perhaps be called "Player's Pick" lottery kit? Or something like that? If it was a hot system it would most probably still be on the market. Tells ya something,dudn't it? lol.

One of the simplest systems for 12 numbers in a pick 6 lottery consists of selecting the 12 numbers by any method you choose (birthday numbers, statistical lottery charts, etc.) and then grouping the 12 numbers into 4 groups of 3 numbers each. You then play each of the 3 number groups with each other which will result in 6 combinations to play. If you are lucky enough to guess all 6 of the numbers drawn by the lottery within your 12 numbers, you have a chance to win at least 3 "four out of 6" prizes.

Depending on the way your lottery pays out in prizes, you can win 1 "four out 6" prize with only 4 numbers selected correctly, but you would be required to get either one 3 number group right with all 3 numbers and then have the other number in one of the other 3 number groups, or get 2 numbers right in two of the 3 number groups. In order to win the jackpot, you would have to guess all 3 numbers right in 2 of the 3 number groups. With 5 numbers guessed correctly, you could get a "5 out of 6" prize by getting 3 numbers right in one 3 number group and 2 numbers right in another 3 number group. Here is the basic pattern using the numbers 1-12 for the 6 combinations.

1-2-3-4-5-6 1-2-3-7-8-9 1-2-3-10-11-12 4-5-6-7-8-9

4-5-6-10-11-12 7-8-9-10-11-12

It is a good basic little system that one can take with him or her to any state and play while on a trip, vacation, etc. and increase ones odds of winning a prize without spending a lot of money because it is easy to remember.

Hello lottolaughs, I researched the "Players Pick" & I saw the name Marian Petres, it was an infomercial in the 1990's, Lottery Combination Selector Kit. An entire article was written & it was mentioned, I thought that would be the system to which Jobo18 was looking to find.
